What politicians say is one thing and what the IDF does at times is quite another and in this case, actions speak louder than words.
The deployment of an Iron Dome defense system in the Eilat area signals growing concerns over the new unwelcome reality in Sinai, which according to military intelligence reports is quickly becoming a major terrorist base and a launching pad for terror attacks into southern Israel.
A Grad katyusha rocket exploded in the Uvda area of southern Israel in recent weeks and defense officials stated that rocket was launched from Sinai.
The new reality in Egypt has resulted in mounting security and defense concerns in Israel and the placement of an Iron Dome battery in the Eilat area is yet another signal that the relationship between Jerusalem and Cairo during the Hosni Mubarak regime are gone, at least for now, and the situation today with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who is aligned with the Islamic Brotherhood, is quite a different story.

Israel should tell Egypt that one attack out of Sinai and the IDF will take it back to make Israel safe.
of course if there is one attack out of Sinai Israel will need to stand behind those words.
